Interest in the aerodynamics of wrap around fin vehicles originated some years ago because of their applicability to the design of tube launched rockets. Weapons Systems Research Laboratory has designed and tested a number of different wrap around fin configurations. A series of five test vehicles, using a recent six finned design, has been fired from the Weapons Systems Research Laboratory 384 mm gas gun to determine flight behaviour. This report describes the trials which have been conducted and the results of analysing the data from those trials. Some comparisons are made with the results from wind tunnel tests. In general, agreement between free flight and wind tunnel measurements is good. (Author)
